IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO 3D ACCELERATED VIDEO CARDS WITH SOLDIER OF FORTUNE. PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PLAY SOLDIER OF FORTUNE FOR THE FIRST TIME!! !! ================================================================================ ======== This version of Soldier of Fortune is a limited release specifically for use wit h the Razer Mouse. Throughout extensive QA testing, it has become apparent that a number 3d acceler ated video cards will not function correctly unless you update your video card driver. Even thoug h you might have the latest driver supplied by your Video Card manufacturer, you still may not be able to run Soldier of Fortune. If you run into problems with your current video card driver , you will need to download what are called "Reference Drivers." These drivers are supplied by the company that made the chipset for your video card, for example: nVidia or 3dfx. PLEASE BE AWARE that Activision Customer Support does not answer questions regar ding installation and un-installation of reference drivers. Please refer to the "Readme.txt" or "H elp Guide" included with the reference driver.

**Note**: Installing Soldier of Fortune will install the latest version of Direc tX (7.0), which

contains the DirectX Diagnostics Utility (dxdiag). This utility will determine t he current driver version of your 3d accelerated cards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. In order to determine the video card driver version that you are currently ru nning, do the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Click on "Start" on the Windows taskbar. -Click on "Run." -Type in: dxdiag <enter> You will then see a window pop-up with several "Tabs." Look for the "Display" ta b. Users with two video cards will see two "Display" tabs. If you are using a primary (2d/3d) card you w ant to look for the "Display 1" tab. If you are using a Voodoo1 or Voodoo2, you are looking for "Dis play 2" tab. Look the "VERSION" number in the "Drivers" section which is located on the right side of the window. It may be wise to write this number down so that you do not lose track. -------------------------------------------------------------2.
